Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu while addressing media persons here today said that there was excitement among the people of the state regarding the ‘Sarkar Gaon Ke Dwar’ programme and it was getting a positive response across the state. Through this programme, the State Government was disseminating information about its programmes, policies and other decisions, stated the Chief Minister, adding that the people were also being made aware about the welfare schemes and the decisions that have transformed the lives of the people and the other beneficiaries availing benefits of such schemes. As of now, the people are becoming aware that the BJP has never taken such decisions for their welfare in the past at the grassroots level.
While speaking on the issue of JOA (IT) results, the Chief Minister said that the government was thoroughly reviewing legal aspects of recruitment and would release the results of JOA-IT soon. ” We are committed to soon declare the results of JOA (IT) posts”, he said
On a query regarding keeping guest faculty in schools, the Chief Minister stated that Guest Teachers would be a stop-gap arrangement so that the studies of the students may not suffer. The Guest Teachers would be hired purely on merit basis and their services would be availed only in case a post remains vacant for a long time due to a transfer or if a regular teacher is on a long leave or so. He regretted that the opposition was misleading the youth about this decision and was criticising the decision just for the sake of criticism and for media attention.
